Description
My ~/.zephyr.subs is a symlink so that I can easily switch subs lists.
However, when I try to :unsub, I get "[Error] No subscription present in /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/b/r/broder/.zephyr.subs"
I did a little bit of source diving, and I think this is because BarnOwl handles unsubs by creating a new file without the sub, then rename()ing it over the old subs file.

(No, .zephyr.subs.backup is not a directory)

I wrote a patch for this. See https://github.com/JasonGross/barnowl/commit/0db63576a2daa57f7c8143804763419a556b9899.

That's a little odd. It "should" really clobber the symlink. Does the actual error message get logged anywhere?
